Activities & Clubs

The East Troy Community School District strives to create a positive environment in which all students are inspired and challenged. There are many extra-curricular opportunities at East Troy where students have a chance to meet new people, make new friends, achieve personal growth, travel to new places and develop new skills. If we don’t have the club you’re looking for, start a new one! See your counselor for more information.
